VIA Olympus

Ran regularly in the original VIA Olympus and loved its very firm cushion, though they think it was on the edge of too firm for most runners.

“if you ever tried on or ran in the previous version of this shoe, you would know how firm they were. for someone like me who likes a firmer cushion, they were great!”

A heavy Altra user says skip the Via Olympus: it looks max-cushioned but rides like a brick, denser than the regular Olympus.

“**Via Olympus** - skip them. They look max cush and stack, but they are bricks.”
